Seasoned traveller, with a penchant for authentic experience, besides oft-beaten tourist spots. Habitually I observe and admire various things around me, be it clouds, water bodies, landscapes, cuisine, culture et all. Here I express personal experience and two pence on anything that fancies me, mostly through the pictures I take!
